Thank you so much! This is such a small little quality of life improvement. And for others trying, you need to just add this line to uBlock Origin's "Filters" tab, not the "Rules" tab.

Pretend you had this problem after you'd had everything stolen from you, including your apartment key, during your first day in Colombia lol. This experience is what pushed me off Gmail.

I will thank you kindly to not speak about the Honda Rebel that I owned like that! She could hit 81 while going slightly downhill if you were in a tuck. I believe from the factory the Rebel has like 15 or 16 hp, mine that was 12 years old a

I think the generous reading, and the one I agree with, is that it is on the scale of "FU money". Any reliable source of income that can satisfy needs means that you have more freedom to refuse to do X, Y, or Z. This is the key to

Where is that? My only other living experience outside of America has been Europe, and Europe seemed to start later and stay later compared with America(sans SF, SF is a special place where everyone goes to bed early and wakes up late).
